As I go over the murder in the book, I can’t help but notice little details that somehow I can relate to in a way I never thought possible. Emotionally impacted by the murder, I stand to almost feel what a character like Bobby Rupp feels. I don’t know how to explain, but as I read what he had to go through, I could almost feel myself in the same situation. I know that as teenagers relationships are not always taken for granted. I could relate to Bobby, because he lost someone he wanted to spend time with, someone he loved that was not family, and someone he just smiled with. Somehow, even though the person that I chose to be a person like Nancy was to Bobby is not gone yet, but knowing he’ll leave my side soon just breaks my heart. Reading about how Booby used to spend all that time with her, then he just had to give her up without question. My boyfriend, Lucas, is soon to be gone. It is really hard to have to go through that because the decision was made for him. I wish it didn’t have to be that way. At least I get to hope to see him again, but Bobby Rupp doesn’t get that and instead becomes a suspect for the murder of the person he cared about. I care a lot about Lucas, and I really hate the fact that he is leaving to Argentina. Sometimes in this life decisions are made for us for the better, just like there’s a reason to why things happened. Even though sometimes things seem under control, there’s just things we, humans, have little control over. I try to picture myself with no hope at all, but I just can’t. There’s just this pictures of all the times we spend together it is just so hard to let go. I really hope to see him one more time later in the future. It is a big pain I feel inside because I want to be happy he is with me for now, but then I’ll have to say good-bye with little hope to see him again.

You’re right, your situation sounds somewhat similar to the feelings of Bobby Rupp. To me it sounds like more of a romantic movie or something. He leaves, you’re sad, but later in life you reunite and get married. That’s just me, but I can’t help it. I know you and Lucus aren’t those kinds of teenage couples who are all about just being with someone for the heck of it. You’re together because you enjoy each other’s company and can be yourselves around each other. I know if it were different, you’d dump him or wouldn’t even go out with him. Luckily, that’s not the case. You found a good guy. I think this situation has the term, “Bad things happen to good people” all over it.
